[Edited to add:Â Thank you for all your comments during delurking week – 28 total and no, Karyn and Zero Boss…man, it’s NEVER to late, to delurk! – I’m making a donation to Big Brothers and Big Sisters in the name of prettiful Mommy and Daddy Bloggers, like you!)
Seriously – take a closer look at that big, wide doggy grin – no words are necessary.
That is one seriously happy dog, my friend.
Unlike the rest of them – you know…GULP!…peeh-pull, I mean – besides the cats, he is perhaps the most easiest…um…dog to please!
[front door opens]
“Oh-boy-oh-boy-oh-boy…you’re home…here…oh-boy…you’re here!”
[gets scritched behind ear]
“Ooooooh…that…feels…soooooo…gooooood, I…LOOOOOOVE…YOOOOOOU!”
[grabs leash]
“WHAT…we goin’?…’KAY!…where?…DON’T MATTER!”
[opens car door]
“Oh-boy-oh-boy-oh-boy…goin’ bye-bye…BUH-BYE…oh-boy!”
All it takes is one little car ride to the bank and a milk bone – yep, that’s all it took – and that is one seriously contented dog!
The kids?
Pbbllttbblltt…but, they can be soooooo hard to please, sometimes…can’t they?
When even my attempting to celebrate “Friday pizza and video night” out…instead of in…can turn fugly!
“How about Wendy’s?”
[whining]
“No…I want McDon…!”
[interrupted]
“We HAD that last week…I want Burger King!”
[in chorus]
“Nuh-uh…yah-huh…nuh-uh…yah-huh!”
Well – you get the idea, right? – it was an nightmare, really.
Oh well, at least two out four were happy and I was…um…okay, I thought, until my husband came home.
“That was really cute.”
[frowning]
“What?”
[loosens tie]
“You know…letting Mini-me call me at work.”
[frowning deeper]
“Where…when…what are you talkin’ about?”
[raises eyebrow]
“You mean…you didn’t have her call me…at the office, I mean?”
Silence.
[busts out laughing]
“What’s so DAMNED funny?”
[snorting]
“Oh man…you REALLY didn’t have a good day; did you?”
[hands on hips]
“What ARE you talking about?”
He finally stopped laughing, wiped his eyes and explained that Mini-me must have taken my cell phone and some point in the day and called him:
“Hew-woe, Daddy…um…I called to say…love you, Daddy…and…uh…I’m soooooo missin’ yooooooo!”
[click]
Ah, well – at least in my dog’s eyes I am the bestest mom, evuh!
Until.
The Daddy get’s home and then all bets are off, of course – just like the kids – stupid dog!

Yeah, there’s something about the dads that the lower life forms just can resist… might have something to do with the bacon they carry around in their pockets. Oh wait. Maybe that’s just my man.
Great post.

Awww. Stupid dog always sides with the kids! It’s true that my daughters might have given me HELL all day long, but when thier Daddy hits the door – they’re freaking ANGELS. Say it with me: ‘GRRR…’

Sometimes the loving-dad-best thing can work out for your benefit. Like when I told my daughter I’d be sleeping on the family room couch during her sleepover to make sure things didn’t get out of hand. Sure ’nuff, she called Dad at work (on the road, no less) and asked HIM to sleep on the couch instead. And he did. My hero!

Hell. I think I’m too late for the dolla. But consider me de-lurking anyway.
Love the pic of the kids. What a jovial crew. 🙂

That photo of the kids is hilarious. HILARIOUS. The dog and the husband have mutually conceded to acknowledge each other’s right to exist. That’s all I can offer you in the way of husbands and pets.
Ah well.
